Army and Navy Academy is an internationally recognized college-preparatory school for boys, grades 7-12 that follows University of California standards and incorporates leadership training centered around its JROTC program. Since 1910, Army and Navy Academy has sought to develop scholarship and honorable character in young men. Our cadets benefit from having a greater degree of structure, motivation and discipline in their daily routine. One of our core competencies is the academic achievement of our students. On a regular basis, we see students improve their G.P.A., often within the first semester of attendance. Small class sizes, a highly committed staff and individualized support enable students to achieve better results and improve their chances for attending a college or university of their choice. Mandatory JROTC leadership classes emphasize teamwork, honor, self-esteem, citizenship, study habits, and time management. Band, performing arts, extracurricular clubs, and CIF and intramural sports complement the academic program.
